Enjoying @alomshaha reminding us that practical work is important beyond illustrating substantive concepts. Take, for example, the idea of verification: "every child to have the experience of using a microscope...verify for yourself that cells are real". Absolutely!

A thousand times this. Being “evidence-based” in pedagogy will not move a teacher forward if the thing being taught, the curricular object, the rhythms and status of that subject’s accounts, are not the primary driver of professional learning.
